Bio: Jennifer has appreciated the opportunity to be a voice for parents, students, teachers, staff, and community members the past four years. She has been steadfast in her support for high achievement for all of our students. She will continue to advocate for our teachers, by seeking improved professional development, maintaining benefits, and supportive work environment. The division is better off than four years ago, but Jennifer is impatient to do the work that still needs to be done. We still have a long way to go for our neediest children. Jennifer will continue to listen and collaborate with our community to ensure all students succeed.
